I'm pushing for a mill at my job. We buy ridiculously machined sinks for badass electronics. They are SPAHENDY! No problem gabbing my way in to a laser cutter and 3D printer. Each under $1000 and proving their worth every minute. I'm hoping that's the lever I wield to make my boss think an MR-1 was his idea the whole time. Keep the vids coming! When I eventually get one, you'll be a great source to my first set-up success. Sub fo sho.
Doing God's work. You're an actual hero. You have any idea how many videos like this I wish existed. Just some short simple one's that show you the glaringly obvious issues you'll encounter with a new system. It's a true passion to help others. And that's beautiful.
Wow, thanks for the kind words!!! I'm going to print this out and frame it!
Cutting the spindle cover!! Best mod I have done, thanks for the tips.
glad you feel the same as me! You just made my day
Look like a gentleman while doing it😂 good one
Magnets on the Wrench! Nice! My need to do that one. Thanks
Thanks for watching! I just subscribed to your channel, looks like you're doing some cool stuff
@@worknplayusa Thanks for the sub... I have much more to come...hopefully lol
Good vid guy. I wasn’t able to get in on the first wave but hoping to place an order shortly. (Unintended) benefit I suppose is seeing what folks are doing to address shortcomings. Overall seems like a solid machine, especially for those of us just getting into it.
I have no complaints so far. Good luck with your machine!
Great video can you show how programming works
hi thanks for the vid, can the MR-1 be used to CNC injection molds? would the finish be okay?
Nice modifications! I need to get a machine like yours or something similar... I subbed.
Thanks for the sub!
Clean set up man ❤🔥💯💪🏼
Appreciate it! I subscribe to your channel, looks like you've got cool stuff!
👍👍😎👍👍 - Thanks for all the great tips
Thanks for watching!
Bits are very expensive although last long. I spent more than 6€ for single tungsten carbide coated bit !!!! 😗😗 and I have a lot of various bits for different materials so this is great expenses for this hobby or work.
Great point!
Lol pro level ones can be 100$ plus
I’m not hating on it, and I’m about to purchase the MR-1, but can someone explain the concrete.
Is it simply to add weight to the unit?
Because if its purpose is to add weight as well as create a level surface while holding the components in place.. like the rails and the table.. then why not use something like Kerdi board(Schluter systems).. to create a grid in the pan, and then pour concrete into the grid.
From my vantage point, this would provide a more secure concrete base, and it would be lighter, while still providing the surface for epoxy.
It just seems odd to take an advanced system like this and dump a bunch of Quikrete into the pan.
What am I missing?
I believe you want as much weight as possible to dampen vibrations. Good luck with your build!
Fantastic.
Many thanks!
Thank you with your tips, I have a question
I'm planning to build a machine like this since I'm not living in the US. So I wanted to know. Is it a good machine about accurate and rigidity? Is the z height enough? What is the dimensions of the x axis
Thank you in advance.
The machine is very accurate and rigid IMO. that being said this is my first milling machine. Z height hasn’t been an issue for me yet but it is certainly a limitation, if my memory serves me right there’s 6 inches of Z travel, with the spindle in the lower position you have 7 inches and the upper position 9 inches table to nose.
Magnets are great for holding tools if you machine nonferrous metals. If machining ferrous metals all the chips will start to be attracted to the magnetized tools from the magnets.
Very true. I don't machine steel very often, when I have it wasn't much of an issue.
Excellent video1
Thank you very much!
the tool setter correction has been crazy annoying. I've been procrastinating on adding a buffer piece under mine because I work with extremely high tolerances, a 10th or less and don't feel like readjusting the center.
how can i get one of them tool setter parts from .I try to find you on the MR1 forum with no luck .I would like one of the tool setter or the plans to do one when my mill is up and running
Thanks for watching! If you email me at worknplayusa@gmail.com I would be happy to send you the file.
hi, can u tell meu what is the hight of the vise? from bottom to top? i lookd on the website and they say 1.2 inch or aprox 30 mm is that correct? or the body is only 30 mm high and the jaw is another 30mm?trying to find a pair of low profile vises for a long time.
Sorry for the delay, crazy with work. To the top of the jaw 2.37
@WORK N PLAY USA cool.
Now I know what which vises to buy.
Do u have issues with the clamping? Or the traming of the vise ? Do u ever use 2 vises ? If yes have u ever checkd the hight between the two vises?
Whot software do u use ? CAM

They put it back there to dupe you out of $20.00 for their shut off extension and $54.00 on their garden hose sprayer. Thanks now I can treat my family to some high dollar cuisine I should have just enough to get 3 meals and maybe a kids fry if I'm lucky
Update: so they got their meals 2 10 piece nuggets and a bigmac $47.00 a mcdonalds added $25.00 to my gas tank and I'm a ⅛" above E now with the 5 gallons that bought saved myself 2 bucks for a small kids happy meal size paper bag french fry cost considering a whole 6 piece nugget happy meal with 2 of those fries and a drink used to cost $3.00 but I was wrong to assume they are now charging $4.68 for a kids size fry which is about 18 friench fries which is about $0.25 per fry I love my president he's keeping me in shape by making it unaffordable to eat ...my family thanks you though
If you can't hold the workpiece down you can’t cut it. It’s just plain stupid to use your hands, you're just asking to lose a finger or two. Mill a square pocket into some wood and sandwich each one and mill them that way so they don’t move. The wood will stop the mesh from moving and you’ll get a clean cut. Or drill press it.
agreed, anyone that would use their hands it’s just plain stupid.
Would like to talk to you somehow about the MR-1, I want to buy one in the future and have questions. I can give you my email if interested
Thanks for watching! I honestly don't use email outside of work. On Langmuir's website there's a form you can join without purchasing anything. There's a wealth of information and a ton of guys with more experience than me. I am on there as worknplay, you can send me a direct message there. forum.langmuirsystems.com/
Awesome, didn’t know there was a forum
you lost me at mac book
